Abstract

The low level of scientific literacy among elementary school students is a serious challenge in the world of education, especially in facing the demands of the 21st century which emphasizes critical thinking skills, problem solving, and understanding scientific concepts. One of the causes is the lack of interesting learning media that can accommodate students' learning needs as a whole. Therefore, innovation is needed in the form of interactive learning multimedia that can present material in an attractive visual way and actively involve students. This study aims to implement and examine the effectiveness of using interactive learning multimedia in improving elementary school students' scientific literacy. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to analyze and synthesize various relevant studies on the implementation of interactive learning multimedia in the context of improving scientific literacy. Data were collected from various reputable national and international journals in the period 2017 to 2023, using databases such as Google Scholar, DOAJ, and GARUDA. The selection process was carried out with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to obtain relevant and quality articles. A total of 10 articles were selected for analysis. The results of the study showed that most studies concluded that interactive multimedia has a positive influence on improving students' scientific literacy skills. This media has been proven to improve conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, and increase students' interest and motivation to learn. In addition, the use of visual elements, animation, and simulation in multimedia can bridge students' difficulties in understanding abstract concepts in science. Thus, it can be concluded that interactive learning multimedia tends to be effective and relevant in improving elementary school students' scientific literacy. However, limitations such as small sample sizes or context-specific findings in some studies should be considered. These findings provide implications for teachers, media developers, and policy makers to integrate multimedia technology more optimally in science learning.

Abstract

This research aims to develop and test the effectiveness of ethnoliteracy-based numeracy learning tools that are integrated with deep learning strategies in a pedagogical context in the context of multicultural elementary schools in Nganjuk Regency. Using the ADDIE model Research and Development (R&D) approach, the research was conducted in three schools with different local cultural backgrounds. Data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, numeracy tests, and document analysis. The results of the study showed that the learning tools developed were able to improve students' understanding of numeracy concepts with an average score increase of 24.3 points. In addition, there was an increase in positive attitudes towards mathematics, with a decrease in boredom from 42% to 12%, as well as an increase in metacognition scores from 2.3 to 3.9 (on a scale of 5). Contextualizing material through local culture has been shown to increase the relevance of student learning and engagement, which is reflected in the 96% attendance rate and the number of critical questions students ask. Despite obstacles such as limited learning resources and digital access constraints, the adaptation of teachers and students is able to overcome these challenges effectively. This study concludes that the integration of ethnoliteracy and pedagogical deep learning strategies significantly improves students' cognitive, affective, and participatory aspects in numeracy learning. The implication of these findings is the need to develop contextual learning based on local culture to improve the quality of numeracy education in multicultural primary schools.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the need for the development of ethnomathematics-based flipbook media to improve students' understanding of measurement materials in grade III of elementary school. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with teachers, participatory observations in the classroom, and documentation studies of the curriculum and teaching materials used. The results of the study show that measurement learning is still dominated by lecture methods and the use of textbooks, so that students have difficulty in understanding abstract concepts. Teachers have also not integrated elements of local culture in learning, although the concept of traditional units of measurement such as cubits and depa is still used in daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to develop ethnomathematics-based digital flipbook media that can present interactive illustrations, visual simulations, and connect measurement concepts with local cultural practices. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that digital flipbooks can be an innovative solution in improving students' understanding of measurement materials while supporting an exploratory approach in the Independent Curriculum. The recommendation of this study is a trial of flipbook media to measure its effectiveness in increasing student engagement and understanding in mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of principals’ human resource management (HRM) competencies on elementary school teachers’ performance in Majalengka Regency, Indonesia. Given the strategic role of school principals in managing educational resources, especially teachers, this study aims to examine how specific dimensions of HRM competencies contribute to teacher performance. A quantitative, correlational research design with a cross-sectional survey approach was used. The study involved 400 teachers from 80 public elementary schools selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires measuring HRM competencies (six dimensions) and teacher performance (four dimensions). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, simple and multiple linear regressions, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings revealed that principals’ HRM competencies significantly influenced teacher performance (R² = 0.615, p < 0.001). Among the HRM dimensions, human resource development had the strongest effect (β = 0.402), followed by performance appraisal (β = 0.234) and HR planning (β = 0.203). Teacher performance was generally high, particularly in personality and pedagogical competencies. All regression assumptions were met, confirming the robustness of the analysis.The results suggest that effective HRM by school principals, especially in continuous professional development and fair performance evaluations, plays a pivotal role in enhancing teacher performance. However, compensation and work relationship dimensions showed room for improvement, indicating potential policy gaps. Principals’ HRM competencies are vital for improving teacher performance. Educational policymakers should prioritize leadership development programs focusing on HRM strategies to strengthen teacher quality and educational outcomes at the elementary level.

Abstract

Literacy is a foundational competency that significantly influences students’ academic and lifelong success. This study investigates the effect of structured literacy instruction on the reading abilities of Grade V students at SD Lab School UNIMUDA, Sorong Regency. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, this quantitative study involved eight students and applied a literacy intervention integrated into Bahasa Indonesia instruction over the course of four sessions. Data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, paired sample t-test, and normalized gain (N-Gain) analysis. The findings indicate that the data were normally distributed, permitting the use of parametric analysis. The paired sample t-test showed a statistically significant improvement in students’ reading performance (p = 0.000), while the N-Gain score averaged 57.15%, placing the intervention in the moderately effective category. These results demonstrate that consistent and visually engaging literacy instruction, supported by structured routines and relevant reading materials, can enhance student engagement and reading comprehension. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing evidence from a remote and underrepresented educational setting, highlighting the effectiveness of school-based literacy initiatives. It calls for broader implementation of such interventions and suggests further research into sustainable and community-supported literacy models. The findings offer practical insights for educators, policymakers, and literacy advocates working to improve primary education outcomes.
